Cant seem to get dual monitor to work

[daltonjanssen301]

I have both monitors plugged into my computer, both by a VGA cord. They are duplicated and wont extend my desktop. I went to settings to detect the other monitor, but it wont detect it and acts as both are one monitor. Help please!

You need to set the monitors to extend in the display options, and if you are using a splitter they will always just show the same thing on both.
